Mysteries Misfire (r32 Gtr)

well i'm not an expert on mechanics or electrics, but i can only put in the following in hope that it might help

seeing as you have spent so much on an engine rebuild and obviously want it to run perfectly.. have you considered buying an entire new wiring loom and replacing your old, worn, broken wires with the new loom? who knows where you might have a broken wire that may be coming loose intermittently..

anyway good luck

Warren.

the question is WHERE do I get this new loom from - I KNOW Nissan will rape me on this

could it maybe be an earthing problem? a lot of jap cars seem to run the earthin kits on GTR's....just a thought?

not sure if this helps but i also had a similar minor miss when i first got my car back from the rebuild. It was very minor before (twice on the dribve back from sydney) the build but very noticable after...maybe once an hour? i found that my knock sensors weren't connected and had the car retuned connected, and with new copper plugs at charlies and the problem seems to have gone? Might be your plugs not being cool enough? ie 6's and not 7's

i think its a problem with the power FC

My car ran fine with the stock ecu. Changed to a power fc with no other changes, and i had this 'missfire'. Its not really a missfire, but it sort of is? I have been suggested its a problem with this revision of the pfc. Some of the other guys on here also have it. dont worry about it

already have grounding kit - and new IR plugs - and I have had them cleaned. Not sure on temp rateing tho - will check that

can the PFC code be updated (flashed) ?

anyone tried a warranty claim ?

Yeah I spoke to a few other people and they have had the exact same problem since putting a PFC in... seems like it is just a PFC problem and not much can be done about it.

I have the same problem with a customer GTR but worse, I tryed to find someone to test -repair the PFC but no hope in Australia.

I have changed and tested everything inc wiring harrness-CAS- ignitor-coils -every spark plug you can think of-tested and added earths -etc and the fuel system has been gone right thru.

I fitted a stock ECU and did a Data scan with no faults found.

I feel an ECU is as good as its weakest link and repair-testing is this ECUs weakest link in Australia.

I clean my AFM's regularly (every second oil change) and they are not the problem. Its to do with the PFC, as one of the cars I know was fine, put a PFC in and it started happening straight away.

to put another spin on this.... i have had the same problem lately...

I DO NOT have a Power FC (but do have a SAFC2 - had it for 2 years though)

Mine starting doing it a few days after changing the plugs, and cleaning the coils.

It also started doing it the same day I filled up after letting it go down to just 5 litres of petrol in the tank (late for appointment no time to stop and fillup). And this was only 1km after filling up it started, so i suspect dirty fuel or water in the fuel.

I have changed my fuel filter, cleaned all the plugs (ignitor, CAS, AFM) and double checked them to ensure they are secure.

I'll clean my AFM, and recheck all connections to spark plugs and coil packs over the weekend.

Has any1 dealt with dirty fuel, or water in the fuel tank before?

Has any1 tried putting metho in their fuel when they suspected water seeing as water and methylated spirits are miscible?

I will post an update if i have any progress....

    • Anyone used A to Z Imports in Goldcoast?  I was referred to them for engineering and RWC? However besides a few one off bad google reviews it all seems pretty legit?   https://www.atozimports.com.au/
    • RB26 JE pistons to suit 2.8 stroker crank 77.7mm and 86.5mm bore Custom made with EN plating and Je perfect skirt.  Valve pockets Suits 1mm over valves biggest lift you can throw at them. 21mm 210” wall 9310 upgraded wrist pins to suit standard sized 121.5mm rods. I had these made for my build but block had to be rebored to a larger size so sadly I can no longer use them. I spent a-lot of time and money on these pistons.  See photos these are the Heavy duty forging in 2618 material with all the bells and whistles accumulator grooves double force fed pin oilers skirt milling window milling etc.  The En plating was done to the whole piston this helps with heat and also critically in the ring grooves to prevent ring micro welding. The Perfect skirt is JE's propriety coating its a permanent coating that expands and contracts with the bore to prevent piston slap and noise and also friction. you can look these features up.  They have been balanced to a tenth of a gram at my expense. They come with Gas nitrided ring pack's and oil ring rail supports all brand new never used. The Dome volume is 17.9 cc which based on your Gasket thickness and chamber volume can put you anywhere you like in terms of Comp ratio in my case it was just under 9:1 but this is highly customizable for your build.  In terms of sizing these pistons will work with any 77.7mm build using the normal sized rods.  I did buy an extra set of rings at the time of purchase incase i stuffed one up during gapping so i will throw these in at my expense. I purchased these through performance wholesale in Brisbane and still have the receipt if you were to make these now it would cost more then double what i have them listed for. I am super fussy when it comes to building motors so you will see they have been measured and numbered with marker in the photos. Every thing has been handled and stored with the utmost care and diligence. looking for 2350 ONO any question please ask. test is better 0450 428 895 they will be sent via registered post anywhere in Aus free international buyers contact for quote.  
    • Ok that makes sense, I was circling around the idea that this kind of wear would only occur with too long intervals between oil changes but I see what you're saying about the cause being something else.
    • That's perhaps not even correct in this instance though. If the OP were in fact to bin all that troublesome crap and convert to DBW, and then if the problem persisted, we would at least know that it was not caused by any of that troublesome crap and he could go looking for it in more likely places. AND... he would have a significant upgrade in niceness to go along with it!
    • What has an oil change got to do with whether wear is occurring or not? Wear may be facilitated by oil having been left in too long and broken down - but it is far more likely to be a mechanical issue (ie, pressure). The thing with the tested oil being only 5000kms old makes it perhaps equally likely to be lead from bearings or lead from the additive.
